Housing abroad

• As a researcher you can use Sabbatical Homes.
• You may also want to contact the host university to see if they offer housing to rent for their guest researchers, or if they have agreements or recommendations for rental agencies.
• If you have the opportunity, check if anyone can look at the house for you and possibly film it /send pictures. It is strongly recommended that you do not transfer any money before you have physically seen the flat/house you want to rent.
• Often the residential address is associated with the school / school district. Read more about school.

Beware of scams!

Renting out your home

Many employees rent out their private homes in Norway when they are on research stays abroad.

• If you plan to rent out your home, it is important to familiarize yourself with the applicable laws and regulations.
• If you rent out your house in Norway, it is important to check if you need to change your insurance policies.
• If you have an apartment or house you want to rent out, you can post your own housing ads in one of our messaging channels on Innsida. See more information about Rent out your bed-sit or apartment.
